(B) For a soap bubble,the excess pressure inside is given by $P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension and $r$ is the radius.Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be the excess pressures inside the two bubbles of radii $r_1 = 4 \ cm$ and $r_2 = 5 \ cm$ respectively.$P_1 = \frac{4T}{r_1}$ and $P_2 = \frac{4T}{r_2}$.Since $r_1  P_2)$.The common surface will be curved towards the smaller bubble with a radius of curvature $R$. The pressure difference across this common surface is $\Delta P = P_1 - P_2$.For the common surface,the pressure difference is $\Delta P = \frac{4T}{R}$.Therefore,$\frac{4T}{R} = \frac{4T}{r_1} - \frac{4T}{r_2}$.$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{r_1} - \frac{1}{r_2} = \frac{r_2 - r_1}{r_1 r_2}$.$R = \frac{r_1 r_2}{r_2 - r_1} = \frac{4 	imes 5}{5 - 4} = \frac{20}{1} = 20 \ cm$.

Two soap bubbles of radii $r_1 = 4 \ cm$ and $r_2 = 5 \ cm$ are touching each other over a common surface $S_1S_2$ (as shown in the figure). The radius of curvature of this common surface is...... $cm$.
